Stampin’ Up! Sale March 2022

 Stampin’ Up! Sale through March 31



Stampin’ Up! Is offering a sale on select items through March 31.  Sale items include the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine as well as some really lovely bundles.  Since the new annual catalog will be available shortly, some of these items will no longer be available and certainly not at these sale prices.  

Some of these are my favorites that I’ve used many times.  Please let me know if you have questions or would like to see projects with these products.  You can email me at ca_tennant@yahoo.com

As you may know, I have been subscribing to Paper Pumpkin for several months now.  I’ve found that I do enjoy the card kits because they offer a great starting point for me to add and enhance.  If I feel that a month’s Paper Pumpkin does not appeal to me, I simply skip that month.  I may make the projects as shown, but often I enjoy stepping them up and adding to them.  You can get next month's Paper Pumpkin at
